In front of a curtain on a stand, two men count money. When the boy found a stall still open, he went in and looked at a display of tea sets and porcelain vases. A young woman and two men who have an English accent were chatting. Perhaps because the narrator is only a child, so when the young woman observed the boy, she only "came to ask him if he wanted to buy anything" and after the boy said no, she directly returned to the two men and started. to speak again. The boy said no, because he thought there was nothing in the stall that was good enough to give to his beloved as a gift. Plus, he said no because he didn't have enough money to pay for a gift. “I dropped the twopence of the sixpence I had in my pocket” (218). After the boy took the train and bought the ticket, he was left with only twopence and sixpence which he couldn't buy anything.
